really cool. Im not a big fan of the "english bow" but this is a beauty. You did something unique with this one. Good bend, nice design and finish! And nice and thick sap wood.

Beautiful yew bow with interesting nock overlays and a very nice bend.   :OK
 That's a heck of a piston rod next to the bow. Must have come from a big engine.

Nice tiller... the nocks are a bit different... can't decide if I like 'em as a 'longbow' tho'

...thanx guys, much appreciated!
PatB, not sure, but the piston rod must be from a river cargo ship i think. It's a cool memorabilia from a youth friend who passed away way too early; tiny switzerland was too small for his open mind so he became a ship captain on the rhine....

Very cool. Those nocks look space age, so slick. I bet it's a real rocket launcher too.
